About Notting Hill

The Notting Hill publicized by the Hugh Grant film wasn't always nice. Notting Hill during the early 20th century and particularly during the post-war period had the characteristics of a slum, Buildings that were overpopulated, poverty and race riots affected the neighborhood. These issues would plague Notting Hill until redevelopment commenced in the 1960s. The gentrification attracted the wealthy, and upscale shops and restaurants began to fill the area. The renowned Portobello Road features a prominent market, and a nightlife that is stylish can be found amid its numerous boutiques.
